TAM Program

Your Bridge to a Healthier Heart

At Cardiovascular Center of Marin, we know support and education around healthy lifestyle choices can reduce hospitalization and improve health outcomes. For this reason, we are excited to offer the Total Atherosclerosis Management (TAM) Program to heart patients in our extended community.

From 1993 through 2012, the TAM Program graduated more than 800 individuals through 75 programs under the nurturing and careful guidance of Dr. Mark Wexman.

Five-year follow-up data shows participants with known coronary artery disease who remained compliant with the program had remarkably high (88%) event-free status and further benefited with a 96% five-year survival rate.

TAM’s unique design enables us to educate, empower, and motivate individuals to adopt new lifestyle habits in support of their recovery from or prevention of heart disease.

Our Team

The TAM Program team includes a number of outstanding practitioners who have significant expertise in cardiovascular prevention and recovery — many of whom have been a part of the program since its inception more than 18 years ago. All team members are selected for their understanding of the lifestyle changes that are important for improving heart health and their proven ability to successfully coach and inspire patients in making these changes.
